But which processor architecture\/socket should you choose? Haswell (often called Intel 4<sup>th<\/sup> gen Core processors) in an LGA 1150 socket or Haswell-E\/EP (refered to as Intel Core Extreme processors) in an LGA 2011 socket are the two main options today, each with its own Pro and Cons, each filling a specific need for a specific type of customer. Let\u2019s break down those options to help you make the most informed decision possible on Haswell vs. Haswell-E.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Haswell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Officially known as 4th Gen Intel Core, the Haswell microarchitecture is designed specifically for performance benefits at minimal power consumption, making it ideal for a wide range of users, form factors, and chipsets.
